第三部分：阅读理解（共2O小题；每小题2分，满分4O分）A

　　There is an old saying：No one thinks he’s a bad driver. Here’s an updated 21st century version：No one thinks he sends annoying e-mails. But，plenty of us do.

　　A Princeton University research found that 22 per cent of Americans say e-mail has added to their work pressures and caused misunderstandings. Here’s a guide on e-mail etiquette（礼节）to help you avoid being annoying.

　　Experts say there are three types of e-mails with different rules-close friends，office and public e-mails.

The close friends e-mail

　 You can send your lover，your closest friends and your siblings（brothers and sisters） anything，from jokes to “you got to see this!”．But bear in mind that not everyone shares your sense of humour and you may expose them to viruses.

The office e-mail

Don’t add to people’s workload．Keep e-mails short and to the point.

◆Make the subject line factual and brief.　 ◆Write in clear，concise sentences.

◆Provide your name and phone number at the end.

The public e-mail

　　Occasionally we have to send an e-mail to a group of people. If possible，write your public e-mails with a who，what，when，where structure. For example：

Who：All members of the soccer team　　　 What：Team photo

When：Saturday，March 25，at noon　　　 Where：Playing field 2．

Finally，before you hit “Send”，check the following：

◆Is the e-mail a “flame”? Never send an e-mail in anger，It could stay around forever and haunt（萦绕心头）your professional and personal life.

◆Check the “To” field. Is this really who you want to send the message to?

◆Spell-check the message. Does it have an error that can affect you badly?

56．The writer uses the old saying at the beginning of the passage to show that ________.

A．many people are good at driving　 B．not everyone can be a good driver

C．many people can be good at sending non-annoying e-mails D．many people think highly of themselves

57．The writer may want to tell the reader that ________.

A．mails online are often sent to wrong places　B．different e-mails should be written in deliberant ways

C．sending office e-mails is sure to add to people’s workload

D．the public e-mail is usually sent to a large number of people

58．According to the writer，________.

A．e-mails with some misspellings may hurt the receiver

B．before sending an e-mail，the sender should ask someone to check it

C．jokes sent to a close friend online sometimes may be harmful

D．about 80％ of Americans like sending and receiving e-mails

59．If an e-mail is a “flame”，the sender of it must be very ________ at the moment.

A．angry　　　　　　　 B．excited　　　　 C．worried　　　　　　　 D．disappointed

B

Women turn to online shopping

　　Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using. the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US.

　　For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.

　　“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study.

　　Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

　　Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.

　However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

“But even if shoppers don’t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of ComScore Networks InC．Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.

“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.

60．Which of the following statements is true?

　　A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．

　　B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.

　　C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.　　D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.

61．From the passage we can infer that________.

　　A．men usually decide how to spend money in the family　　B．women usually decide what to buy in the family

　　C．the Internet is used in all the shops.　　　　　　　　D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.

62．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.

A．is unsafe　　　　　　　　 B．is convenient　　　　　 C．is a waste of time　　D．is cheaper

63．What can we know from the passage?

　　A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.　　B．Shopping online is fun for women.

　　C．Shopping off-line provides better service.　　　D．Young people like to do gift-shop ping online.

　　When you are little，it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when，at the age of 12，I addressed the people at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child，” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers，what a wonderful place this world would be. At school you teach us not to fight with others，to work things out，to respect others，to clean up our mess，not to hurt other creatures，to share，not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do. You grown-ups say you love us，but I challenge you，please，to make our actions reflect your words.”

　　　I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the people even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them，that my speech might actually spur（刺激）action. Now，ten years from Rio，after I’ve sat through many more conferences，I’m not sure what has been achieved. My confidence in the people in power and in he power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.

When I was little，the world was simple. But as a young adult，I’m learning that as we have to make choices-education，career，lifestyle-life gets more and more complicated．We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress，but we aren’t taught how to seek a happy，healthy way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naïve.

　　Today I’m no longer a child，but I’m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible，because I am changing，still figuring out what I think. am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great，but if we accept individual responsibility and make choices，we will rise to the challenges，and we will become part of the positive tide of the change. I hope this goal will be met through our common efforts.

　　　　 Thank you all.

You are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he’s got a phone message.

　　“But I didn’t hear the ring，”you say.　“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.

　　 Don’t get mad. He’s just telling you the truth.

　　 Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It’s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.

　　 According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched（频率） ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.

　　 The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.

　　 However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.

　　 Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer（蜂鸣器） designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.

　　C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.

　　D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.

71．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.

　　A．older people hear no better than teenagers　　B．older people had better not use cellphones

　　C．teenagers hear better than old people　　　　D．teenagers had better not use cellphones
